DJ Clark Kent.
Posted on September 29, 2008 by giant steps
Today’s an exciting day for us at NHTVSN, as we get to finally debut part 1 of our two part exclusive interview with DJ Clark Kent. When we started the NHTVSN video project, we wanted it to be a forum for our industry friends to wax poetic on anything they chose to talk about. Upon meeting with Clark, I realized that there was quite a lot going on that he was ready and willing to talk about, so much that we ended up with more footage than we knew what to do with. We broke the interview up in as logical a way as possible… this first segment covers some of the things you know him for - DJ, producer, sneaker aficionado, tastemaker, and more. It’s not every day that you get to interview a founding father of hip hop, and for that we’re very grateful.
Before we get started, a few thanks are certainly in order. First of all, to the Commissioner for making the introduction - without you, we wouldn’t have had this opportunity. Big ups to Todd Nisbet, Mr. Bee and the rest of the Frank’s Chop Shop team for opening up their venue to us and providing a perfect backdrop for our conversation. And finally, to DJ Clark Kent for sharing some very special memories with us.

Mezco Toyz.
Posted on September 2, 2008 by giant steps
My first Mezco toy, Letterman, was a gift from a friend:
(If this character looks familiar to you, that’s because Mezco was hired to develop this little guy who you may have seen on TV a few years ago - the design of Thirst was heavily based on Letterman)
I couldn’t just stop there… from Letterman, I went on to track down the entire Hoodz series, which then led to the Alien, Predator and Run DMC Mez-Itz toy series (all of which maintain space on my desk). So you’ll have to understand why upon reading that Mezco’s headquarters was just 15 minutes from where I live, I had to try very hard not to sound like a fanboy when I called them up to pitch this NHTVSN video segment you’re about to see right here.
Enjoy.
